Narva Town Hall (Estonian: Narva raekoda) is a historic municipal building in the city of Narva, Estonia. The building is located on Town Hall Square (Raekoja plats) next to the Narva College of the University of Tartu.

History

[edit]

The town hall was one of the few elements of the city's baroque-era architecture to be rebuilt following the Second World War. It is now surrounded largely by Soviet-era Stalinist designs and Khrushchyovka. A €7 million renovation project at the Narva Town Hall was completed in 2023. The building has returned to its original function as the seat of Narva's city government and also accommodates a tourist information centre and restaurant.[1][2]
